This year, and the
preceding two were beginning to finally achieve some continuity in getting birds
upon which we really depended to produce young for us. Previously, we had
occasionally had some success with individual birds, and varieties (for example
Albinos), but we had not been able to breed with those birds sufficiently to
quickly establish the line, although a review of the pedigrees of some of our
better current birds does bring up some fond memories of birds whose influence
we thought we had lost. We have used this knowledge, this year (2007), to
bring certain features to the fore.Unfortunately, we have few pictures earlier
than 2003

Some of the birds which have
influenced our breeding stock over the last few years...- two of them are still
doing well for us in 2007
